Victory Arlen Ness Victory Vision reviews

Although we started out with a couple of little quirks, it did not take long for all to work out. The entire time even in the beginning my Vision has the best ride I ever had the pleasure to mount. A hip injury has keet me off my Vision the past year but I plan to be riding again very soon. Just think...a touring bike that handles like a sport bike...love those turns. Show less

This bike was a Christmas present in 2009. I have truly enjoyed it. I had a gas smell for the longest time, but being my first big twin, I felt it must be just a quirk that they have, as well as the warm legs in the summer. I had a Wing before but I just recently talked to the mechanic at the dealers. He told me I had a bad gas cap. I had 93K miles on that Wing and never replaced a gas cap. He told me a new one is 44 bucks. I want to see if they will help me out on that. Overall, it's a great ride. Show less

I took delivery of my 2012 Vision three days ago. I had spent a lot of time waffling back and forth between Electraglide, Goldwing and this bike. I decided on this one because it was the most comfortable for me {my wife was most comfortable on the Wing, but comfortable on all three]. I wanted heated seats, standard on the Vision and Goldwing, but only on the Harley CVO, so that was out. I have a couple of build quality concerns, buy have been assured by my dealer that these will be handled at my first maintenance. There was a small tear in seat and a misalligned fairing. There was a little concerned about power, as I also have a Triumph Rocket. But with the pipes they installed, no problem. It's a very cool bike. Show less

I've been riding for over 30 yrs. I've always had Jap Screamers, and still have a ZX14. I saw my '07 Jackpot at the dealership in Foxboro. It was used, 1500 miles, I was hooked. It has '06 Black with Purple to Blue Flames (my personal preference as it is a little more understated. I had looked at it and mentioned it to my wife. She went by the dealer when I was at work and called to ask me why I hadn't put a deposit on it......that was it. The bike performs great, especially with a couple of Lloyds Performance add ons that really woke it up - 96RWHP, 104 FtLBs Torque on Chassis Dyno with Pipes, Air Cleaner Kit and EFI Tuner, tuned by Lloyd. Everywhere we go the compliments are overwhelming, from Harley owners to the guy carrying his little kid. I love the bike, Victory and the dealer in Foxboro, MA!!!! Show less

It's the very best, reliable motorbike I have ever ridden. I have 15 years experience, and now 12 months touring on a new Vision. I've been to the USA, Canada, and all 32 countries of Europe, north to south, east to west. I've not had a single problem riding 67,000 km. in 12 months. I've added another 23,000 km. since then over here on our rubbish New Zealand roads, no problems. You cannot beat a Victory Vision. Show less

'It is the most comfortable ride! I could not believe how smooth and how well it handles. You will be surprised on how well balanced this bike is. It's an all-around keeper. Great looks, power, comfort, all in one. I'm very satisfied with this bike. Show less

It's absolutely the funnest bike I've ever owned. I don't even care where I'm going--it's just a blast. The seating position is laid back. My ipod is hooked up to play my Christian music and worship the LORD. I get comments and stares all the time. It's such a beautiful and unusual looking bike. Show less

I traded my BMW K1200 LT for my Vision. No regrets! Nothing wrong with the BMW but it was just to tall for me to be comfortable. I rode this bike for just 20 minutes on a demo ride and couldn't get my check book out quick enough - still having trouble getting the smile off my mug. In town I go at 2,100 rpm. and at 75 mph. at 2,100 rpm. with goosebump pulling power. I haven't had this much fun since I was a kid. Looks and finish are perfect. Mechanical is perfect. Service from dealer was exceptional. Show less

For my 50th birthday, I was going to buy the "dream bike". I had a Harley Electraglide picked out and test rode. I saw a Gunny Victory ad and decided to go test one locally. After seeing and riding this bike. I can't imagine buying another Harley, and being a cookie cutter pirate. No comparison. I have rode for over 35 years, Harleys, Hondas, Kaws and Yammers. I never rode a bike as comfortable and loaded as this one. Looks take a little getting used to, but everywhere I go, people stop me and ask questions or take pictures, it's fun. There is nothing about this bike I don't love. It's very cold here right now. With the heated seats and grips, I went on a 100-mile trip yesterday, and a 150-mile trip last weekend, and loved every minute of riding it. This is a pic of my kid and bike taken yesterday. Do yourself a favor, before buying the hog, just ride one. I rode the Cross Country Tour and the Vision and the biggest decision I had was deciding which one as both are amazing bikes. Show less

I went for a test ride at the Victory dealership. The person who went out with me asked me what kind of ride I wanted. I said fast and lots of twists and I got exactly what I asked for. I love the bike, it's very comfortable, light and easy to manuever and is powerful. The Victory Vision 8 Ball is a very nice ride. Overall I give it a 10. Now to sell the Harley. Show less
